MD DA540 Dry Whey - West                                         

MADISON, WI.  February 23, 2017 (REPORT 8)                       

DRY WHEY - WEST                                                  

Western whey prices are steady. Although end users are able to find 
available sweet whey powder as needed, industry contacts say whey stocks 
are generally tight. Restraints on production capacity has limited the 
number of dry whey spot offers. Industry contacts suggest traders have 
grown quiet as they take a wait and see approach to whey markets. Some 
price sensitive buyers are starting to push back on prices at the top of 
the range, but other industry participants have yet to see much hesitancy.
